Khyaati is a modern transliteration of Sanskrit Khyāti (ख्याति), from the verbal root khyā, “to make known, proclaim,” yielding the meanings “fame, renown, reputation,” and by extension “celebrated” or “illustrious.” The name appears in Purāṇic tradition: Khyāti is named as a daughter of Daksha and wife of the sage Bhrigu, sometimes credited as mother of Śrī (Lakshmi), which lends the name auspicious associations with prosperity and good standing. Philosophical texts also use khyāti for “appearance/perception,” though as a given name it primarily conveys “renown.”

In contemporary use, Khyaati is a predominantly feminine name across India and the diaspora, with notable popularity among Hindi- and Gujarati-speaking families since the late 20th century.

The name’s positive, achievement-oriented meaning adds to its modern appeal.
